    Potomac water temps?

    I typically would have 10+ river trips under my belt by mid April. Life has gotten in the way and I have not been on the river this year. Can anyone tell me current water temps around the river?
    did the recent rains trash the river?

    Chickamuxen was 56 last Sunday. My guess is it has cooled some.

    Yes, At Smallwood, When he asked, i say i didn't catch anything of legal size. If you tell him you did, you better have it in your live well. Remember you are fishing for food.

    I was out yesterday. Water temps as high as 61. Caught 6 best 5 were 16 lbs. I'm sure other guys are catching them, but from my perspective, your not missing much. Water was pretty trashed yesterday, and very windy and rough out there.

    I live in the People's Republic of Maryland, and I've been worried I'll get hassled by the cops for pulling my boat.

    Couple inches of rain today will change it up a bit.

    Had 62-64 late yesterday. Think I also caught a post spawn fish that looked like it spawned a month ago. Or else it was just beat up looking. Only about 16 inches.
